I think that it's trying to say that we can use the same device names in
both OFW and boot.  How about:

  The secondary boot loader, *ofwboot*, understands the same device names
  and aliases as Open Firmware.

I must admit that I haven't tested that this is (always) the case.  I
wonder if that's why the "virtually" is there, even though it's not
very helpful.
